Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 207,385, dated August 27, 1878 application filed I July 9, 1877. v

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JoHN BENNIsoN, of Galveston county, Texas, have invented a Window, Door, and Shutter Sprinkler, of which the following is a specification:

The object of my invention is to sprinkle water on the windows, shutters, and doors of buildings when there is an adjoining fire, and by keeping them continually wetprevent the flames from catching hold of the wood-work that is always connected with doors and windo'ws.

The further objeet of my invention is to apply the water it such a way that it will not leak into the building or flood the same, and thereby occasion great damage to the contents of the building; and the sprinkler is arranged in such a way that the water will run down the outside surface of the'building.

The machine and the manner in which the water is applied are illustrated more in detail in the plan View, Figure 1.

F is a pipe, made of metal in any shape to suit the window or-door over which it is placed. G

A sprinkler is placed over every window and an adjoining neighborhood the stop-cock is turned and the water is'sprinkled over the window or door, as the case may be. If there closed, and the space between the window and shutter is filled with steam as soon as the shutter gets hot. Thisstcamis generated from penetrating the building.
